Wrong. Police officers can react to anything that is in "plain sight", meaning anything that escapes from your car, be it photons or small particles which we refer to as "scent"

Not true. The U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in U.S. v. Kyllo (2001) that the police can not use infrared cameras to locate "suspicious" concentrations of heat in private places and then get warrants to search. So anything that escapes is not "in plain sight".

You got the easy version of the quest:
Genesis Chapter 7:2-3
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by two, the male and his female.
Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

But he gets to subtract that cost from his income so he pays less taxes on that. Do I get to subtract the cost of fuel off my income? He gets to count his food as a business expense, do I get to do so? Why do businesses get to subtract any expense off their income, but I don't get to do the same?
